Prompt : Coughing Fit Chronology : During act 3 Pairings : Courtney/Star, Star & Dr. Scott, Courtney & Dr. Scott
Star wasn't feeling all that well, but she didn't want to disappoint Courtney by admitting that because they were supposed to play cards that evening and if Courtney knew that she wasn't feeling up to it, then she'd tell Star to rest and resort to playing cards all by herself.
"You sure you're up to play?" Courtney asked. Star had been coughing a fair bit that evening. Ever since Star's recent health scare, she'd been extra attentive to when Star was coughing more than usual.
"Yeah, of course" Star dismissed. She knew this wasn't healthy. She knew that she'd be better off just lying down for the night, but that initial fear of Courtney finding her pathetic never fully went away.
They played and, eventually, inevitably, Star began coughing, a lot.
Courtney's eyes widened as she saw some thick mucus and a bit of what appeared to be blood come up during this fit. Star was horrifically embarrassed.
"I'll get Dr. Scott, okay?"
"I'm sorry" Star managed to reply in between coughs. Courtney managed a weak smile as she got up and went for the door.
"Don't apologize" she said. She opened the door and called out into the hall for Scott, who arrived pretty quickly.
"Alright, kiddo" he said, picking up the girl, who was still coughing. "Thank you, Courtney"
"Will she be okay?" she asked. He nodded reassuringly before leaving the room. Courtney looked at the small bloodstain that was now on the floor and frowned.
"Idiot..."
